Christians Stand Up To University Bullying

By Professor Doom

As schools become
converged, taken over by this bizarre hate ideology, they remove everyone who
doesn’t agree to it. They’ve
already locked down the faculty on campus, but that was easy to do:
faculty are only too happy to write and talk about their beliefs…those who didn’t
virtue signal with sufficient sycophancy were easily identified and removed, or
not allowed on campus in the first place. Thus we now quite commonly have
departments which are pure in their ideology.

How to purify the
students? Well, you start with mandatory indoctrination courses, sacrificing
academics in exchange for credit hours in Women’s Studies, Race Studies, and
Sexual Orientation courses. This captures the souls of many students…but how to
know who still aren’t drinking the Kool-Aid?

It’s hard
to believe even flyover states are finding their institutions converged but
it’s hard to argue with the facts. What problem, pray tell, did the Iowan
University find with the Christian club?

…fail to comply with its new “human rights” policy.

The “human rights”
policy is more about sexuality, specifically homosexuality, which is something
of a no-no for Christians (not that there’s anything wrong with that). To
clarify, the Christian club wants its officers to adhere to Christian beliefs. Seriously,
this is a problem for the university:

“deregistering any and all student clubs that has not signed
its policy that requires the groups to open their membership — and leadership
positions — to anyone, regardless of race, religion, national origin, sexual
orientation or gender identity.”

The rule here is
pretty ridiculous, as it basically means that even a Satanist can join the
Christian youth group, even serve as leader (I’m dangerously close to making a
comment about The Pope here…). As written, pretty much any group with any
restrictions on its members could be targeted.

Is the university
targeting other groups?

…campus leaders let other groups, such as
Muslim ones, limit membership and leadership opportunities, while it cracked
down on the faith-based group Business Leaders in Christ, or BLinC, which
sought to bar openly gay students from leading the
club.

If it weren’t for
hatred and violence, hypocrisy would be one of the two biggest issues for this
converging ideology. The Muslim groups require believers (of course), and
certainly are against active homosexuals…but that’s ok. It’s only an issue for
Christian groups. Toss in how this ideology commonly targets white males, and
locks them out of jobs…and it’s tough to understand how anyone can follow it at
all.

Now, other (less
religious) groups were hit with this policy, and caved in. But, those Christians
have always been unwilling to yield to those claiming godlike power on Earth,
and just won’t change their ways to suit the “leaders” ruling the school.

Now
a federal judge has ordered the taxpayer-funded institution to treat Business
Leaders in Christ the same as it treats a registered Muslim student club.

U.S. District Judge Stephanie Rose told the university Tuesday to
immediately reinstate BLC so it could participate in a “spring recruitment
fair” Wednesday that it deemed essential for its continued viability on campus.

I’ll never
understand why the SJW ideology hates Christianity for its views on gender and
sexuality, but gives Islam a free pass, even though the latter holds views
which are similar (and in many cases far more restrictive towards females).
It’s weird how neither mainstream media nor alternatives can provide some
explanation, although at least (and solely) the alternatives point out the very
clear hypocrisy here.

Despite the
humiliating defeat and exposure of their hypocrisy, the University of Iowa,
more accurately the SJWs running the place, can’t just leave well enough alone.
I do feel the need the need to point out that a university’s mission is
education and research. Since the “leaders” have forgotten this, I provide a copy of the
University of Iowa’s mission statement here:

In pursuing its missions
of teaching, research, and service, the University seeks to advance scholarly
and creative endeavor through leading-edge research and artistic production; to
use this research and creativity to enhance undergraduate, graduate, and
professional education, health care, and other services provided to the people
of Iowa, the nation, and the world; and to educate students for success and
personal fulfillment in a diverse world.

The University of Iowa
carries out its academic mission primarily through its 11
colleges, which offer
undergraduate and graduate education, professional education, and education and
training in the health sciences.

I openly defy anyone
to read the above and conclude the university needs to spend millions of
dollars to make sure open homosexuals can be leaders of Christian clubs (but
not Muslim clubs).

I’ll just focus
on the first few words of the above. “Teaching” refers to education of humans,
and it’s not an accident that this is the first part of the mission. “Research”
refers to education of humanity, by expanding the knowledge humanity possesses.
Again, not an accident that this is part of the mission.

The last, the very
last goal of the mission is service, bringing good works to the community which
has provided the funds which allowed for the creation of the university.

Will it really
take three guesses as to what are the religious beliefs of the community providing
the funds? The community should take in interest in the leaders of the
institutions.

The leaders
took the money, gave themselves huge salaries, luxurious retirements…and then
used whatever money left over to violate and abuse those beliefs to the best of
their abilities.

There needs to be
a real investigation as to who these leaders are and how they came into power.
More importantly, of course: we need to get rid of these guys, although, as
always, in the interim we should de-fund this system by eliminating the student
loan scam.
